That’s right – another milestone to file away to the books. Jeff Copperthite has climbed to over 30,000 views on Youtube, achieving the mark only 39 days after reaching 20,000 views.

“This is the fastest that we have been obtaining video views ever. It took me nearly 6 months of Laptop Sessions acoustic cover videos to reach 20,000. To only take 39 days to increase that viewcount 50% is simply amazing”, says Jeff.

Jeff is well ahead of the pace to obtaining 40,000 views by the end of August, a goal he established at the start of summer.

We at guitarbucketlist.com would like to thank you – our loyal fans – who keep coming back for a brand new acoustic cover video every day. As long as you keep returning, we’ll keep covering!

Congratulations to Mike Fusco for his first Laptop Session!

It’s been a few months since we started the Laptop Sessions acoustic rock cover songs video blog.  And that entire time, we’ve been trying to get my brother Mike Fusco into the mix, no pun intended.  You may remember Mike Fusco as the famous voice and mind behind Dr. K. on WCJM free internet radio.  You may also remember Mike as the “self-proclaimed teen heartthrob.”  But here on the Laptop Sessions, he’s simply Mike Fusco- singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and fellow mater of the cover song art.

Tonight, I graciously gave Mike my normal spot in the cover song rotation (in other words, “YES! I get a day off- thank you Mike!), but don’t worry, I’ll be back on Tuesday with another great cover song from another artist we haven’t covered yet here on the music blog.

Mike begins his tenue with the Laptop Sessions with his emotional cover of Elvis Presley’s classic love song, “Can’t Help Falling In Love.”  Mike did a great job with this, giving the song extra meaning, considering the situation he was in.  I’m happy that instead of just sulking, he turned his emotions into a great cover of this classic song.

We hope to get a Mike song on the video blog once a week.  He has our full support here and we hope you’ll help welcome Mike to the Laptop Sessions!

“It’s You” (Jim Fusco Original Acoustic Rock Song)

Welcome to yet another Original Wednesday here on the Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Tonight, I bring you one of my softer rock songs in “It’s You” from my “big” album “What About Today?”.

This song has a nice tune, but it’s really about the words…which tell you that it’s really not the words that make the song.  Don’t really get it?  Well, then you have to listen to the music video!

Actually, I’ve had a really bad couple of days and I’m more depressed than I’m letting on.  But music always makes me feel better.  The “truth” line really reminds me of a former friend that I used to work with.  He probably doesn’t even know what he did to me, but I know…and unfortunately won’t forget it.

At least the blog’s doing well.  I’m sorry this description couldn’t be longer, but we’re ready to play Risk and I’m prepared to globally dominate Chris for the ump-teenth time.  Until Saturday- enjoy “It’s You”!

“Temptation Eyes” (The Grass Roots Cover)

Tonight’s video blog entry is from yet another “new” band to the Laptop Sessions: The Grass Roots.

Chris and I have loved this song since my mini-obsession with it back in mid-high school.  For some reason, we equated someone I had a crush on to this song.  It was when I was first learning piano and learned how to play this song, which I was pretty impressed with.

I actually got to see the Grass Roots in concert a few years ago at the North Haven Fair here in CT.  Actually, I’ve seen a lot of great bands there, including America and Herman’s Hermits.  I always love getting to see a show there- you get to see some great acts and it’s just part of the general admission.  During my schooling years, the North Haven Fair was truly the only good thing about September.

This song, “Temptation Eyes”, is a bit “campy”, but I still love it and think it’s got a great tune.  It’s always a candidate for getting stuck in my head at a moment’s notice.

I hope you enjoy tonight’s Laptop Session here on the Laptop Sessions music video blog.  We’re happy to have all of you new fans here to listen to us!
